From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: In Red Hat 9, when right-clicking on a panel and selecting new panel, there is an option to create a new main menu panel (or something to that affect, I do not recall the exact verbage). What this did was add a nice panel with neato Mac OS X style rounded edges accross the top of the desktop, and also included the gnome/redhat menu and a couple other items. I'm not sure if the omission of this option is a bug or by design, but it looked really sharp in Red Hat 9 and I've found no other way in Fedora Core to create a panel with rounded edges like that. I know this is definately not a priority type of thing and appolgize in advance for wasting anybody's time, but its something that I miss and figured this would be a good way to mention it Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnome 2. Right click on a panel and select new 3. Notice the lack of all the options that were previously avaiable in RH9 Expected Results: Was hoping to see an option to add a main menu panel Additional info:
Yeah, they were purposely removed. There has been some talk about adding them back, even a patch, but it doesn't look like there's a nice way of doing it. See: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-November/msg00183.html for more information
